l Be it known that LWILLrnM D. ANDRnws, `of the city, county,.a`n`d State of New York, have inventeda newand] useful Improvement in Reciprocating Pumps; and I do herebyr de` l clare thatthe following isa full, clear, and exactdescriptionofthesame, referencebeng had to theaccompanyingdrawings, making a part of this specilication,in}which A Figure 11 isalongitudinal central section of .my`inventiou, taken inlthe line a: `:v,`Fig.2;I1"ig. ;2,a transverse s on'of the same,taken inl the line y y, Fig.` A A Y Similarmletters of reference indicate corre` sponding partsfinthetwo gures.

This `invention,consists in .the employment of acompoundqpiston{orone provided with `twovalvesty opening "in opposite directions in "right line and `usedlin connection with a `ater-tightpartitionor abutment placed with 4,inthe pump-cyli erfand in such relation with thetworpiston-valves, the eduction or A. discharge opening, and avwater-passage communicating with Lthepumpcylinder, that by' a simple reciprocating movement ofthe piston each valve" `will `alternately propel the stream inj the 1same direction throughI the pump andeach valvednring its reverse move- A ment allow the stream to pass freelythrough it, therebvvoperatingwitli a moderate eXpenditure of power, r admitting ot'` a; rapid` movementwith butlittle wearand tear of the working parts, and raisingand forcing a large` volume ofwaterin-agiven-time; l To enable `those skilled in theartto fully "understand and construct myinvention, I will proceedtodescribeit. g

i "B atV theA side opposite to the suction end of the cylinder. y 1 H is the indnctionbpeningof the cylinder A, which communicates with the latter nearv Lone en'd of it, the abutment B being between the induction'. and eduction openings, but some distance from the former and by the side ofthe latter, as just stated.

:Thefoperation isf as follows: When a reciprocating movement is given the piston-rod C,

direction indicated by the arrow l, will be drawn through the induction-opening H Aas the valve of the part D of the piston closes and the suction end of the cylinder Alls through the passage Fand into the pump-cylinder at the opposite side of the abutment, and thence through the part D of the valve and ont through the eduction-openiug G. 2.) During the opposite movement of the piston-rod C, as indicated by arrow 3, the valve of the part D of the piston opens and the valve of the part D closes, and the part D draws the water through the part D and passage, F, and at the same time forces the water in front of it out through the eduction- .opening G. rlhus it-will be seen that the two `parts Vof the piston a'ct alternately, and a conpurpose herein set forth.
